Minor formatting error.

Edit: If ANYONE has a higher resolution image... PM's are open, although I would hope you could zoom in on the certificates and nametags yourself.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I wish I could, I was just hoping maybe someone could tell by the carpet or how the cocktail waitress looks. I found this pic from a folder I had 2 years ago and don't know where I got it from.

What leads the OP to think this pic was from a casino? From the overall setting and crowd...frumpy folks surrounded by a low drop ceiling, empty bar, sturdy partition, and tables with with white tablecloths, this could be an asian restaurant, bowling alley lounge, or Knights of Pythias awards dinner at a local Lodge.

Well cause I had it in a folder I was going through labeled casinos. I had to have known which casino it was at the time. Also that's clearly a cocktail waitress in the picture. I know its a long shot for someone to be able to tell from this pic, but I figured I just ask just in case someone does know.

Someone with more time could track it down, but the awards are from the city of Las Vegas - LV Convention and Visitor Authority and LV Metro Chamber of Commerce.

Still, that only narrows it somewhat as the awards could have been presented in a variety of industries. This one was presented to someone at the Plaza so it means that conceivably someone could receive it in the casino industry:


That award for someone who worked at the Plaza I just posted is from 2019, and is not from your photo, but is identical in format.

The big guy upper right in your photo looks familiar to me but I don't want to hazard a guess without knowing for sure. He does resemble the VP of Casino Marketing at one of the casinos I play at.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people. https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/betting-systems/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/

The particular smiles on the executives (not holding certificates) combined with the style of the nametags is what sold me on the idea.

Yeah, I can see it now.

My first impression was that this was a somewhat warped version of the Little Lebowski Urban Achiever awards. But now, given Mdawg's observations, the shiny tags on soft dark-blazered casino type guys, and the OP's recollections, the elements are coming together.

It looks like a back-of-the-house LV venue. Someone in this crowd will eventually recognize it.

I think the certificates are for "proven ability to control and influence dice" :)

Sorry for the double post, but I found it. It was from the orleans casino facebook page.

maybe, but the guy in front with the glasses got an award for 'best cooler of the year'

and the guy next to him, his award is for 'best disruptor of Martingale pros'
